Workout w/Andy

SouthWest 1000 meter repeats.

Basically, it is a 1000 meter repeat with a big steep uphill in the middle, finishing with a long slightly downhill straightaway. The beginning is all flat.

Besides some pick-ups here and there, I haven't been doing any hard workouts since the crash, so this was a stretch. I thought I'd do 3. Andy wanted to do five. I figured I'd stay with him a bit, then die.

Results:

Me: 2:59, 3:03, 3:02, 3:01

Andy: 2:59, 3:03, 3:01, 2:59, 2:56

Andy had a great workout. I ran way above what I thought my fitness level was. So that was good too.

"At about nine, I had the very pleasant notion that I was the Fastest Boy Runner in the World. It's the kind of queer, basically extracurricular conceit, I'm inclined to add, that dies hard, and even today, at a super-sedentary forty, I can picture myself, in street clothes, whisking past a series of distinguished but hard-breathing Olympic milers and waving to them, amiably, without a trace of condescension."
